1 "So it shall be when all of these things have come upon you, the R913 blessing and the curse which I have set before you, and you call F477them to mind in R914 all nations where the LORD your God has banished you, 2 and you return R915 to the LORD your God and obey F478 Him with R916 all your heart and soul according to all that I command you today, you and your sons, 3 then the LORD your God will restore R917 you F479 from captivity, and have compassion on you, and will R918 gather you again from all the peoples where the LORD your God has scattered R919 you. 4 "If your outcasts are at the ends of the earth, F480 from R920 there the LORD your God will gather you, and from there He will bring F481 you back. 5 "The R921 LORD your God will bring you into the land which your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it; and He will prosper you and multiply R922 you more than your fathers.
6 "Moreover the R923 LORD your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants, F482 to R924 love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, so that you may live. 7 "The R925 LORD your God will inflict F483 all these curses on your enemies and on those who hate you, who persecuted you. 8 "And you shall again obey F484 the LORD, and observe all His commandments which I command you today. 9 "Then R926 the LORD your God will prosper F485 you abundantly in all the work of your hand, in the offspring F486 of your body F487 and in the offspring F486 of your cattle and in the produce F486 of your ground, for the R927 LORD will again rejoice over you for good, just as He rejoiced over your fathers; 10 if F488 you obey F489 the LORD your God to keep His commandments and His statutes which are R928 written in this book of the law, if F488 you turn to the LORD your God with R929 all your heart and soul.
11 "For this commandment which I command you today is not too difficult for you, nor is it out F490 of reach. 12 "It is not in heaven, that F491 you should say, `Who R930 will go up to heaven for us to get it for us and make us hear it, that we may observe it?' 13 "Nor is it beyond the sea, that F492 you should say, `Who will cross the sea for us to get it for us and make us hear it, that we may observe it?' 14 "But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may observe it.
Choose Life
15 "See, I R931 have set before you today life and prosperity, F493 and death and adversity; F49416 in that I command you today to R932 love the LORD your God, to walk in His ways and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His judgments, that you may R933 live and multiply, and that the LORD your God may bless you in the land where you are entering to possess it. 17 "But if your heart turns away and you will not obey, but are drawn away and worship other gods and serve them, 18 I declare to you today that you R934 shall surely perish. You will not prolong your days in the land where you are crossing the Jordan to enter and F495 possess it. 19 "I R935 call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the R936 blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants, F49620 by R937 loving the LORD your God, by obeying His voice, and by R938 holding fast to Him; for R939 this F497 is your life and the length of your days, that F498 you may live in the R940 land which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them."
